Gamescom: Q-Games Announces The Tomorrow Children For PS4

Today, Q-Games revealed its brand-new game. It's called The Tomorrow Children, and it was created in association with Sony Worldwide Studios. It will be exclusive to PlayStation 4.

Unlike many of Q-Games' recent titles -- think of the PixelJunk series on PlayStation 3 -- The Tomorrow Children is 3D. It has the same look and charm of PixelJunk titles, however, although it's created around a unique twist that seems to be most reminiscent of Minecraft.

With Soviet-style music playing in the background, the game appears to be about cooperating with other characters to mine strange artifacts. The trailer above will explain more, as will the words below, written by studio head Dylan Cuthbert here.

The Tomorrow Children is the story of a future re-imagined from the after-effects of an experiment in 1960s Russia that attempted to ‘sublime’ the human race, or meld all human minds into one global consciousness. Unfortunately it went wrong and decimated the planet, and it took the next 90 years for the few humans left to rebuild to the point where they have created you, the player, as a ‘projection clone’. You’re tasked with venturing out into ‘The Void’ to reclaim the human race and restore it to its former glory!

The survivors of the experiment have created a society based on Marxist ideals from the 1960s. As you can imagine those ideals have become slightly distorted by the flow of time, and even technology has advanced in unexpected directions.
